How about this polydama specimen of tullia which I saw today... not extreme, but definitely "lanceolata".
Anyone else photographing Large Heaths this year???

Apparently not. Just as well you're doing so well on your own. Nice photo.

Large heath is the only British butterfly I still haven't seen at all, so I am suitably jealous of this lanceolata!!
However, I am hoping to remedy the situation tomorrow (though not in the UK) and will report back if I get my full deck, and perhaps some piccies to match this one.

I went to Fenn & Whixall mosses in Shropshire this morning and though I saw a couple, couldn't get a photo...
Nice pic Paul.

That's it! A decisive moment for me - my last remaining UK species seen and photographed!
It would have been better to see it in Britain, but I'm not complaining!
This is ssp.
tiphon, in the Jura:
And one individual with very few spots:

Fantastic photo of a Large Heath, I would be happy just for a photo of a Small Heath, can you say what camera you have used.
